Background [ edit ]
During one of Keith Emerson 's concerts in Japan, director Ryuhei Kitamura approached him to compose the film's score because he was a fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Progressive Rock.[1] Emerson was concerned whether he would be given enough time before going on tour and was given two weeks to write the film's music; he wrote more tracks than what was used in the final cut.[2] Nobuhiko Morino and Daisuke Yano contributed additional music to the score, however, Emerson did not collaborate with them.[3] "We're All to Blame " by Sum 41 was featured in the film during the battle between Godzilla and Zilla .
